Frosted Chocolate Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal

Does this recipe need any introduction? The combination is classic. I just made it striped.

 

And added some 'frosting'.

 

And it was damn good!

 

Frosted Chocolate Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal

Ingredients:

Baked Oatmeal:
1/3 Cup/Can of Pumpkin Puree (140-50g)
1/2 Cup/45g Rolled Oats
1/4 Tsp Baking Powder
Pinch of Salt
Optional: Vanilla extract or Cinnamon
2 TBSP Cocoa Powder
1-2 Tsp Maple syrup or sweetener of choice, to taste
1 1/2 TBSP Plain yogurt, I used Greek 0%
2-3 TBSP Milk of choice

Frosting:
2 TBSP Maple syrup or liquid sweetener of choice
1-2 TBSP Cocoa Powder, depending on preference of cocoa-eyness (Can use cacao but I find it makes it gritty)
1-2 TBSP Milk of choice
1-2 TBSP Plain Yogurt

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 350F/180C/Gas Mark 4. Grease a ramekin or dish.
2. Mix the all dry oat ingredients except the cocoa powder. Add the sweetener and yogurt, then the milk if needed, the pumpkin and yogurt should already bind it completely but add a bit of milk of the mix is to thick, like paste, or the oats are getting fully covered by the pumpkin because its to thick. Pour 1/3 of the mix into a small bowl. Add the cocoa powder to the rest, adding extra sweetener or milk if needed.
3. Pour 1/2 the cocoa mix into your dish, then the plain pumpkin, then the rest of the cocoa. Bake for 17-20 minutes or until set and mostly firm. You want it to still be moist in the middle but not undercooked. Let cool for a minute whilst you make your frosting.
4. For the frosting start by adding the cocoa to the liquid sweetener, adding a bit of milk. It takes a minute or two but it does begin to bind. Add more milk when it becomes dry and whip till smooth and silky. Add a TBSP of yogurt and whip in well. Taste and adjust cocoa/sweetener to taste. If you think it can stand some more yogurt add 1/2 TBSP at a time. You want it to still taste like chocolate frosting so be careful. Spread on to of your oatmeal, invert it onto a plate or leave it in your dish, top with something decorative. I chose a walnut for crunch. Enjoy!
